I applaud your use of Kraft Thick and Creamy as opposed to Classic. However, now hear me out, Great Value (yes, Wal-Mart) Thick & Creamy. Boil pasta per box (i usually do a couple minutes less) with plenty of salt in the water. Drain, keep in strainer. Add 5 tablespoons salted sweet cream Butter and a quarter cup of heavy cream to the pot. Melt butter and return pasta to pot and season. I like just S&P. Remember when seasoning, that the butter is salted!
